Unique Elements to Include In Your Memorial Service

When planning a memorial service, there are many unique elements you can include to make it special and memorable. Here at Bohlender Funeral Chapel, we understand that every family is different, and each memorial service should reflect the life of the person who has passed away. That's why we offer a variety of options for families in Fort Collins, CO, and the surrounding area. If you're looking for creative ideas to commemorate your loved one, read on for some of our suggestions.

Story Table

Story Table

A memorial service is a time to share memories and stories about the person who has died. To help facilitate this, we suggest setting up a story table. This can be done by placing a tablecloth or runner in the center of the room with photos and mementos of the person. As guests arrive, they can choose something to take with them and share their own stories about the person. This is a great way to encourage people to interact and connect with each other during the service.

A Painted Portrait

Another option is to have a painting or sketch done of the person who has died. This can be hung in the memorial service space and serve as a focal point for guests. If you're not sure where to find an artist, we can help put you in touch with someone who can create a beautiful portrait that captures your loved one's likeness.

Memorial Stones

Another unique element you can include in your memorial service is memorial stones. These can be used as part of a story table or display, or they can be given out to guests as they leave. Memorial stones are small, hand-held rocks or stones that can be engraved with the person's name and dates. They can be used as a physical reminder of the person and can be placed in a special spot as a memorial.
